The average surface roughness, R\n                    <jats:sub>a<\/jats:sub>\n                    , for the tibial trays ranged from 0.01 to 0.087 \u03bcm, significantly greater than the unworn control measurement of 0.008 \u03bcm. The scratch geometry analysis showed that the scratch peaks were found to be consistently of a lower aspect ratio than the scratch valleys and under 1 \u03bcm in height (average asperity height - R\n                    <jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub>\n                    = 0.52 \u03bcm, aspect ratio \u0394 p = 0.01, average asperity depth R\n                    <jats:sub>v<\/jats:sub>\n                    = 1.10 \u03bcm, \u0394 v = 0.05).

In these explants, the unidirectional motion produced scratches parallel to the direction of sliding which is predicted to produce a smaller increase in UHMWPE wear. Other designs in mobile bearing knees have less constrained motion at the tibial counterface and this has been shown to accelerate wear; it may also lead to a further increase in wear in the presence of third body scratches. It may be possible in future knee designs to reduce this type of wear damage by introducing alternative materials or coatings which are more resistant to scratching and surface roughening.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1243\/0954411011533733","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,10,1]],"date-time":"2002-10-01T19:24:52Z","timestamp":1033500292000},"page":"171-179","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Quantification of third body damage to the tibial counterface in mobile bearing knees"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"215","author":[{"given":"V C","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I R","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dartmouth Biomedical Engineering Center, Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D D","family":"Auger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DePuy International Limited, Leeds, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W","family":"Walsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedic Research Laboratories, Prince of Wales Hospital, University of New South Wales, Randwick, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D C","family":"Barton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M H","family":"Stone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Fisher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0954411011533733","unstructured":"Williams I.
